Lollique Beauté’s Hydrating Dead Sea Mud Masque is also different from common moisturizing masks in that its base is a combination of Dead Sea mud and kaolin clay, both popular for their purifying effects rather than known for their hydrating properties.

Because of its extremely active nature (thanks, mud and clay!), Lollique Beauté recommends using this mask for just 5-10 minutes and not letting it dry like most clay masks; keep it moist or wash it off before it gets hard to maximize the moisturizing benefits vitamin E, collagen, coconut oil and wheat protein.

For my personal use, I can only have Lollique Beauté’s Dead Sea Mud Masque on for the five-minute minimum; this mask’s stimulation is hard to describe! If you’re sensitive, this probably isn’t the mask for you.

Upon rinsing, the tingling intensifies just a bit, and once it’s all off, my skin feels very awakened and soft. It’s a bit surprising, as most clay masks I’ve tried leave me feeling tight and itchy.

The combination of Dead Sea minerals, clay and hydrating ingredients give this mask an interesting balance that my skin begs for this time of year.

In case you’re wondering, yes, Lollique Beauté’s Dead Sea Mud Masque has a wonderful, light cocoa-and-coffee scent, and Lollique points out that these ingredients were added mainly for the aromatherapy benefits. I approve.

Though I have an incredible arsenal of masks, including pre-mixed and dry clays, once I’m out of my sample, this mask is one I’m going to repurchase.

The radiance I get immediately after use is well-worth it, and I’m excited to experiment with this mask in the morning; I can easily spare five minutes pre-shower to mask up, wake up and get glowing!
